Lucio Capece is an Argentinian-born musician based in Berlin since 2004.

During his younger years in Buenos Aires, Capece was classically trained in guitar and jazz, later coming to favour reed instruments and compose with groups like Avion Negro and Casual, where he plays different instruments like soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, and the Shruti Box.

His unconventional solo performance tools now include helium balloons, pendulums, synthesizers/noise-generators, and Ultra-Violet Lights. As proclaimed in his interviews, Capece conceptualizes sound as “a living creature”, and his work tends to dig into the stages of its vibrational production, to spatial travel, and to perception.

Capece’s investigative spirit has led to longer-term projects: collaborating with Mika Vainio on the Trahnie release off Editions Mego, and a solo CD by the label Potlatch, called Zero plus Zero, which was four years in the making.

“RX-11 Space Drum Machine” is a composition using sine wave generators and drum machines that feed into a PA system as well as into a swarm of balloons carrying bluetooth-enabled speakers.

With the distribution of the various output channels of his instruments throughout the spatialized speaker array via time delays in the signal paths and with the random variations generated by chance movement of the balloons in the air, Capece engulfs the listener into a complex landscape of overtones and constantly swirling beats.

The disorienting and engrossing spatial ecosystem takes on an uncontrollable sonic life of its own, destroying any sense of a precise focal point.
